Oblio
Fish Herder
I'm totally new to plants and have recently planted several Kleiner Bar Swords. After I purchased some new lights, NICREW RGB +W 24/7, I noticed one of the leaves (far left in pic) turning translucent and everything (except the fish) was being covered with brown algae. Is the translucency what the term 'melting' describes? I've brought down the Nitrate level from ~20 to ~4 and gently cleaned some of the heavily covered leaves. The planted Kleiners are fed via Flourish tabs. Any advice on reducing the algae?
